"This book works to trouble the perception of an inclusive queer community by considering the ways white lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) peoples participate in larger processes and practices of white settler colonialism in Canada. It looks to Toronto-based queer service organizations--health care, social service, and educational initiatives--whose mission and mandate attempt to serve and support all LGBTQ people. Considering the ways queer service organizations (and their politics) are tied to the nation-state, this book develops the concept “queer settler complicity,” which illustrates how, and under what conditions, do LGBTQ people participate (sometimes unknowingly) in the sustainment of white settler colonial conditions that displace, erase, and inflict violence upon Indigenous people and people of colour (regardless of their sexuality or gender identity).
